National Lottery Open Week at Dyffryn Gardens

Free entry to Dyffryn Gardens, 7 - 14 March, for anyone with a National Lottery ticket or scratch card.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

We’re taking part in National Lottery Open Week from 7 - 14 March.

As a thank you to National Lottery players for their incredible support, every adult who presents a National Lottery ticket, scratch card or instant-win game (of any date) at Dyffryn Gardens will receive free entry during this special week.

Over the past 30 years, National Lottery players have raised £30 million every week for good causes, and the National Trust has received more than £150 million in funding since 1994.

How it works:

- One lottery ticket provides free entry for one adult (and up to four children under 18).

- Every adult requires their own lottery ticket for free admission.

Open Week celebrates the partnership between National Lottery players and the National Trust - helping us welcome more visitors, and inspire everyone to connect with nature and heritage.

We look forward to welcoming you.
